I may go on forever about my blog title and bored you to every 101 ideas I may come up of this blog but lets face it, who actually read this? I shall than shorten them with my nick name describing what is all about and who this belongs to.

Have you ever watched a movie and you watched them all over again... and again without getting bored of it? I have few movies that I kinda love and would watch them again once in awhile. Like my Dad, he like P.Ramlee movies a lot, and he would watched them over and over again.. I think I practically can memorize some of the script on the spot!

Recently, I've been watching "Scent of Women". I know I've watched them before, but I still want to watch it. And I remembered why I like the movie... Its the best speech/argument ever! Its really really good like its come straight from the bottom of the heart. You got to watched them yourself...

I love the speech so much, that I search them out.. and found it!! and here is the part where Al Pacino (Mr. Slade) start talking...------------------------------------------------------But not a snitch !-Excuse me ?No, I don't think I will.- Mr. Slade.This is such a crock of shit !-Please watch your language, Mr. Slade. You are in the Baird school, not a barracks. Mr. Simms, I will give you one final opportunity to speak up.

Mr. Simms doesn't want it. He doesn't need to be labeled..."still worthy of being a Baird man. "What the hell is that ? What is your motto here? "Boys, inform on your classmates, save your hide; anything short of that, we're gonna burn you at the stake"?

Well, gentlemen, when the shit hits the fan, some guys run... and some guys stay.

No, I'm just gettin' warmed up. I don't know who went to this place. William Howard Taft, William Jennings Bryant, William Tell, whoever. Their spirit is dead, if they ever had one. It's gone.

You're buildin' a rat ship here, a vessel for seagoin' snitches. And if you think you're preparin' these minnows for manhood, you better think again, because I say you are killin' the very spiritthis institution proclaims it instills.

What a sham. What kind of a show are you guys puttin' on here today? I mean, the only class in this act is sittin' next to me. I'm here to tell you this boy's soul is intact. It's non-negotiable. You know how I know ? Someone here, and I'm not gonna say who, offered to buy it. Only Charlie here wasn't sellin'.- Sir, you're out of order.

I show you out of order. You don't know what out of order is, Mr. Trask. I'd show you, but I'm too old, I'm too tired, too fuckin' blind. If I were the man I was five years ago, I'd take... a flamethrower to this place ! Out of order ? Who the hell you think you're talkin' to ? I've been around, you know? There was a time I could see. And I have seen. Boys like these, younger than these, their arms torn out, their legs ripped off. But there is nothin' like the sight...of an amputated spirit. There is no prosthetic for that.

You think you're merely sendin' this splendid foot soldier...back home to Oregon with his tail between his legs, but I say you are... executin' his soul ! And why ? Because he's not a Baird man. Baird men. You hurt this boy, you're gonna be Baird bums, the lot of you. And, Harry, Jimmy, Trent, wherever you are out there, fuck you too !-Stand down, Mr. Slade !

I'm not finished. As I came in here, I heard those words: "cradle of leadership." Well, when the bough breaks, the cradle will fall, and it has fallen here. It has fallen. Makers of men, creators of leaders. Be careful what kind of leaders you're producin' here.

I don't know if Charlie's silence here today... is right or wrong; I'm not a judge or jury. But I can tell you this: he won't sell anybody out to buy his future ! And that, my friends, is called integrity. That's called courage. Now that's the stuff leaders should be made of.

Now I have come to the crossroads in my life. I always knew what the right path was. Without exception, I knew, but I never took it. You know why? It was too damn hard. Now here's Charlie. He's come to the crossroads. He has chosen a path. It's the right path. It's a path made of principle... that leads to character. Let him continue on his journey. You hold this boy's future in your hands, Committee. It's a valuable future, believe me. Don't destroy it. Protect it. Embrace it. It's gonna make you proud one day, I promise you.-----------------------------------------------------------------------Very good right? I sooo love it! probably a good movie for a date?

yeah i remember that part of the movie too...loved it! That's a really good movie. Slow start but full of life's lessons.

There's another speech of some sort by Al Pacino as well...in the movie "Any Given Sunday". It's damn inspirational, and i even looked for an audio file of that speech, and gladly i found it, now i have it in my hp's mp3 player haha.

and about if its a good movie for a date? I dunno man haha. I dont know if this is movie is actually "female-friendly" LOL.
